Easy Light for Hookah

ABSTRACT

A waterpipe with a small gas or electric flame that heats up the tobacco in the hookah, instead of the traditional charcoal flame. This new device will take much less time to light up the hookah and start smoking. It will also have health improvemnt for not inhaling the carbon monoxide coming out of the charcoal and improving the taste of the tobacco

This application emanates from a previously filed provisionalapplication number 61/257433 filed Nov. 2, 2009.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to waterpipes: aka hookahs. More specifically theheat source by which the material is carbonized for the purpose ofinhillation.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In many parts of the world a device unique in appearance and known as awater pipe has been in existence and popularly used to smoke organicmaterials, including tobacco. The materials smoked in the orient areusually harsh, hot and very irritating to the lungs of the smoker if nottempered in some manner. Water pipes (aka hookah) are one such means andthe classic water pipe includes a water chamber interposed between thebowl, wherein the substance being smoked is burned, and a mouthpiece sothat the smoke bubbles through the water to clean the smoke of ash andcontaminants and to cool the smoke, thus making an otherwise veryunpleasant experience quite pleasurable.

Very recently, water pipes have made an appearance in the Western Worldand are rapidly gaining in popularity. A few attempts at applyingWestern technology to the otherwise Eastern device have been made.

An early but complex water pipe is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 110,594issued Dec. 27, 1870. A tobacco chamber is suspended by smoke pipesconveying smoke to a lower, water chamber having a sponge above thewater and a mouthpiece tube connected to the top of the water chamber.The tobacco chamber includes perforated convoluted passageways to aircool the smoke and a small, sponge filled chamber for the collection ofash and oil by-products of tobacco combustion. A far simpler device isdisclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 754,398 including a smoke and ash collectionchamber about the tobacco bowl and tubing to convey the smoke to a lowerwater chamber to cool the smoke before it passes to the mouthpieces.Another variant in the art of water pipes with ash traps is disclosed inU.S. Pat. No. 1,513,147, where an ash trap is disposed verticallybetween an upper bowl and a lower water chamber.

None of these aforementioned prior art water pipes disclose a pipewherein the point of tobacco ignition is created by electric or gasflame, as disclosed in the current device.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

It is a primary object of the invention to provide a hookah having anelectric or gas fueled flame for the purpose of igniting or burningmaterials without the need for solid fuels.

It is another object of the invention to provide a hookah having aninstant heating device or element for the tobacco or related materials.

I have invented a small gas flame and another alternative to gas is anelecric flame that heats up the tobacco in the hookah, instead of thetraditional charcoal flame using the gas/electric flame will take muchless time to light up the hookah and start smoking. It will also havehealth improvemnt for not inhaling the carbon monoxide coming out of thecharcoal and improving the taste of the tobacco

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Physical Description:

Easy Light for Hookah basically has four parts:

1) Gas tank that has adjustable heat controls

2 ) Flexible gas tube

3) 0.25 inch thick and 1 to 2 inch diameter brass or copper alloy platedwith iron and chromed.

4) Catalyst

The catalyst (A) would be in the center of the metal plate (B) andattached to the gas tank (D) through the gas tube (C). The gas tankwould be hanged on the hookah itself and the catalyst centered metalplate would be placed on top of the tobacco.
